I might not have explained what I was saying. If a new piece of legislation comes in regarding any area of health, what mechanisms are in place to equality-proof it so it will not be in contravention of the Equal Status Acts? The previous question on the Ombudsman's office was what is the next step after a recommendation, which the Department said it does not have to accept. Is there a legal step from when the recommendation is made?
